They're Watching You

So another day with Little Red Riding Hood (or Red Ridding Hood, as my teachers seem to want to write it).  Today's task was to create a path for her to walk along.  This is one of the collage/sketches I managed.  Not particularly thrilled with the overall outcome but I do quite like the detail of the trees in the foreground and I will adapt this idea in the final project, me thinks.

I imagine a forest of red velvety trees.  In fact, as I was riding home on the metro ruminating on this idea, I noticed the girl opposite me had a great red velvet bag, exactly the texture I'd like to cover my trees with.  I contemplated for 5 stops whether to look like a total twit and ask if I could take a photograph, while she and her two friends planned their evening together in Paris.  In the end, I decided I didn't mind being a twit (lucky for me, really) and I asked for the photo, explaining it was for an art project.  She was very obliging, and happy that her bag served to inspire someone.
